Magneton is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. In the Pokédex this is Magneton (#082), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Magnemite. In this catalog that name is Magnemite (#081). The card lists Magnezone, Magnezone (#462) under evolves to.

MAHOU illustrated this card. The same name is on 122 other cards in the catalog.

The attack Metal Sound lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. The Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Electro Ball is another attack lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "The stronger electromagnetic waves from the three linked Magnemite are enough to dry out surrounding moisture."

I keep a set binder for Plasma Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Plasma Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magneton can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
